Another Scrolling Text Script (/thread-2440.html)Another Scrolling Text Script - kyonides - 03-07-2008
This is my version of the scrolling text script, it's supposed to be used whenever you want to show the credits, to display an intro that may include a prologue and some picture above... or you just want to create an intro every time a new episode / chapter begins in your game.
Features:
If you press Cancel button or there is no more lines to be displayed, it will be closed automatically.
Instructions:
In a script call enter this line
$scene = Scroll.new(1) or $scene = Scroll.new(1, 1)
Do you need to change the text? No problem. Just go to Text module and edit the Intro or Chapter_1 lines I enter as an example.
Note:
This is a Scrolling Window Script actually he he he he
Code:
module Text
Intro = {
100 => 'Sentence 1',
101 => 'this does not mean anything',
102 => 'Sentence 3',
103 => 'Sentence 4',
104 => 'Sentence 5',
105 => '',
106 => 'Sentence 6',
107 => 'Sentence 7',
108 => 'Sentence 8',
109 => 'Sentence 9',
110 => 'just another line of text',
111 => 'Sentence 11',
112 => "I don't know what I'm doing here",
113 => '',
114 => 'New Paragraph: Make up something else',
115 => 'The Last Sentence'
}
Chapter_1 = {
100 => 'Sentence 1',
101 => 'this does not mean anything',
102 => 'Sentence 3',
103 => 'Sentence 4',
104 => 'Sentence 5',
105 => '',
106 => 'Sentence 6',
107 => 'Sentence 7',
108 => 'Sentence 8',
109 => 'Sentence 9',
110 => 'just another line of text',
111 => 'Sentence 11',
112 => "I don't know what I'm doing here",
113 => '',
114 => 'New Paragraph: Make up something else',
115 => 'The Last Sentence'
}
end

Does anyone know how I get the words to scroll slower?
This goes RAPID across my screen. Works just fine otherwise but.....is there maybe a way to delay the beginning from playing (to allow the user to see the background picture for a few moments), slow down the words (so we can actually read them, yikes), and perhaps sit and wait on the last paragraph (or line of text) until the user hit 'ENTER' or any key...?
That would make it seem more like an intro, in my opinion.
